Patricia, honestly the only thing I can think of is your display settings. Do you use windows classic theme and windows standard colors? What jaws looks for to see if it is a an unread message is if that icon in front of the message is bold. int function IsUnReadMessage () If ! IsMessagesList (GetFocus ()) then ; if not in the message list Return FALSE EndIf If GetCharacterAttributes () & ATTRIB_BOLD then Return TRUE Else Return FALSE EndIf EndFunction ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia" <bcsarah.fan@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 5:37 PM Subject: Re: getting OE to read if you have an unread message. yep, that's what it does. I know that in Outlook there is a verbosity option that you have the check, but not here. it's okay if you don't know the answer, because like I said, I pretty much delete messages I don't want, and then the ones I do are read anyway. smile. but it does get annoying sometimes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Scales" <debbie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 2:33 PM Subject: Re: getting OE to read if you have an unread message. > You mean when you up and down arrow in your message list, jaws doesn't say > unread? > Honestly I can't think of a thing that would cause that.
